Hummus is delicious and has a lovely texture. Can be eaten with bread, carrot sticks, sweet peppers, cucumber sticks – anything you want really! Chickpeas are full of protein. Very easy to make in 5-10 mins max. I was inspired to make this after discovering how easy it was from Happybody. Now it’s done every week.

Ingredients (3 bowls worth):

400g organic chickpeas

1x garlic clove (roughly chopped)

Juice of 1½ lemons

¼ cup whole tahini (sesame seed paste)

½ tsp of cumin

2x tbsp rapeseed oil (or olive/hemp seed oil)

1x desert spoon bio yoghurt or mascarpone

pinch of salt

paprika for garnish

Method:

Add all ingredients, except the paprika garnish, to a food processor.

Blend until thick and creamy. You only need about 15-30 seconds, depending on how smooth or rough you want your hummus.

To store: Seal or cover with cling film and keep in a fridge for up to 4 days.

Benefits:

Chickpeas deliver essential proteins, and are said to help reduce cholesterol. Hummus also provides healthy oils through tahini and the particular oil you choose to add. Plus you gain a number of essential vitamin and minerals – and although hummus can be high in fat, it is mostly healthy unsaturated fat. No problem with that when you’re running it off or eating as post-run recovery. The bio yoghurt or mascarpone adds a lovely creaminess.
